Tender and fluffy Navajo fry bread! As far as I know, this is the original recipe for Navajo bread. It tastes great with honey and butter. The Navajo put chiles, cheese, onion, lettuce, and beans on them, and call them Nava tacos.
Ingredients
- 2 cups oil for frying
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2.5 cups warm milk
Instructions
-
1
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
2
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; mix in milk to form a soft dough. Divide dough into eighteen 2-inch diameter balls; flatten or roll each ball into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Make a small hole in the center of each round to help keep them flat while frying.
-
3
Lower dough rounds, about 3 or 4 at a time, carefully into hot oil. Fry until rounds have bubbles on the surface and are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining dough.

I created this basil salad with spinach, tomatoes, and other fresh veggies from my garden that needed to be used up. It is so good, and because it makes its own dressing, it's also very light. The flavor is best when left in the fridge overnight.
